Review-

It Ain’t College, It’s War is a YA-College Fiction where Subhodeep Mukherjee serves us College Life of Rahul Arora. It was fun to read this novel.

It’s the first book of It Ain’t Trilogy.

Book Title and Cover- Book Title suits to the storyline and plot and is appealing. Book Cover too attracts the attention of the readers. Blurb is short, crisp and interesting.

Narration- Author has good narrative skills, author binds readers with the book with his narrative style. As the story progressed i found myself enjoying the slightly different narration of this book.

Characters- Author has given each character enough time and amount of attention. I loved how characters evolved as story progressed.

Storyline and Plot- Both Storyline and Plot of the book are amazing. I enjoyed every page of the book, the story was running smoothly till the very end. The humour in the book was fun to read.

Author has tried to put Ragging, Infatuation, Hostel Rivalry, Hilarious Hostel Stories and he succeeded to bring smile on my face while reading this book.

However, it could have been cut shorted by removing boring, monotonous scenes.

All in all, reading this book was an interesting experience.
